Early Saturday morning Houston County District Attorney Kelly Burke was attacked by what is thought to be a Vorpal Rabbit. Burke was fishing at the time of the attack. He tried to fend the rabbit off with his oar but was forced to shoot the rabbit with his taser and then bludgeon it with the oar. Said Burke, "It was coming right for me hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared, I had no choice." After being tasered and bludgeoned, the rabbit died of unknown causes. Autopsy results are pending from the GBI. After the incident, Burke was quoted as saying, "This sends a powerful message that Houston County will not tolerate rampaging rodents."
